Application filed larch 25, 1932. Serial no. 801,218.

This invention relates to a die stock, the

general object of the invention being to provide a holder for various kinds of dies, which can be used with various kinds of handles so that the threads can be cut on nuts, bolts and the like invarious places without removing the bolts or studs from the member carrying the same.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which I Figure 1 is a side view of the invention showing the same attached to a handle.

Fig. 2 is a front view.

. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view.

Fig. 4 is a bottom View showing the die in the device in dotted lines.

As shown in these views, the device comprisesa body A having a ring-shaped base part 1, the'upper edge-of which is connected to the opposed legs 2 which converge upwardly and terminate in the parallelstraight parts 3 which are connected to the lower edge ofthe small ring-shaped part 4, the outer walls of which taper upwardly as shown.

An internal flange 5 is formed in the ring part 1 and pointed screws 6 pass through threaded holes in the ring 1, to clamp a die which is show at B in dotted lines in Fig. 3 in the drawing. As shown in Fig. 4, the 40 flange 5 acts as a seat for the die.

The small ring part 4 acts as a socket to receive an end of a handle, a portion of which is shown at C in Fig. 1 so that the devicecan be turned to cause the die to clean or rethread a bolt or the like. I

The interior of the part 4-may be made of square shape or otherwise formed to prevent turning movement of the handle end;

therein. 9

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a simple holder for a die which can be used with various types of han: dles and which will support the die in any position so that the die can be used for rethreading or cleaning the threads of bolts, studs and the like without removing such studs, or bolts from the parts in which they are located. As will be seen the opening in part 4 extends entirely therethrough sothat a tool, such as a screw driver, can be passed through said opening and used to knock the die out of the part 1 if the die should stick in said part 1 and by forming the device with the divergently arranged parts 2 and tapering the upper portion of the exterior walls of the part 4, the device can be used in places where space is limited. For instance, the tapered part of the socket forming member 4 can extend into an opening of smaller diameter than the lower part of said socket ,member 4 and the handle B can be passed through the opening into the socket member and the device turned to' operate on a member which is in alinement with the opening through which the handle passes.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts F provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having .thus describedmy invention, what I claim as new is A die stock comprising a socket forming a ring-shaped part having an internal flange spaced from its outer end forming a seat for a die placed in the socket part, a screw passing through a portion of the wall of the ring- -shaped part for engaging a die placed in the socket part, a pair of opposed legseach having one end connected to an edge portion of the ring-shaped part, said legs converging upwardly and having straightparallel parts at their'up' ds,z-anda tubular part hav- 7 ing. its;:l"" gei connected to the upper ends of-"sin egs, thebor'eof said tubular part being'ad'apted to receive a handle or a member for knocking the die from the ringshaped part and said bore and that portion t Yes of the handle received therein being of noncireular shape in cross section, sai tubular part being formed integrally with the upper ends of the legs and having lts exterior'walls tapering upwardly.

n testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
